Power outages strike without warning. In the UK, where the weather can turn harsh, and grids face growing demands, reliable backup matters more than ever. At Blades Power Generation, we see businesses and homeowners grappling with these issues daily. An automatic transfer switch sits at the heart of any solid backup power system. Often called an ATS, it acts as a smart guardian for your electricity needs. This device connects your main power source to a backup generator. It senses disruptions in the utility supply. When power dips or fails, the ATS springs into action without delay.
